Stockland has submitted plans for a $2 billion data center that would replace nearly half of its west Melbourne distribution site, according to The Urban Developer.
The proposed facility would occupy just under half of Stockland’s existing distribution center at 413 Francis St. in Brooklyn’s industrial precinct, about 10 kilometers, or 6.2 miles, from Melbourne’s central business district. The broader site spans 22 hectares, or 54.4 acres.
The application has been submitted through the Victorian government’s Development Facilitation Program and is under review by the Department of Transport and Planning.
Stockland said Brooklyn Industrial Precinct is one of the few Melbourne locations with the zoning and grid capacity required for data center operations. The site also has access to high-voltage power
